Ok.. So I know I'm new and all, but I was looking around and though I had a decent idea/suggestion for you.

As I gained access to new forums and looked into things more I found the Recruit and Promote Elliquiy forum and noticed that all the suggestions in there were for simple text links. So far as I can tell, Elliquiy doesn't have any banners or visual advertisements.

So My suggestion is thus: Design and develop a few banner ads for people to use to help promote Elliquiy since pictures draw more attention that words most commonly. And then if you ever wanted to, you could even use them to advertise with them using some of the donated money.

I'd be willing to offer my help in making them if you wanted it. I just hate making suggestions though without offering to help out some on them myself. I've had some experience making these types of things before, and made a good deal of them for another RPG that I'm in. The only thing I'd need would be any images to use in them, a direction, and/or the sizing you'd want. Below is a simple example:

I think that any banners shown elsewhere probably should not have any nudity. Number 1. Not all sites allow nudity, number 2. I think that advertisements should press the literary/artistic aspect of Elliquiy. *smiles*

Atleast that would be my vision of a good banner..but its just one opinion.

There should at least be non-nude banners available, since, as Sherona mentioned, there are a lot of places where you can't use the nude versions.

I also somewhat agree with her second reason, but there should at least be hints about the erotic parts of the stories on Elliquiy, so some eroticness in the banners would work well. You don't need nudity for erotics, though :)

I'm not sure if you intended it this way, but the shifts ('scene changes'?) are very rapid. I had to watch it for several minutes to catch the words... Perhaps spend a bit more time on each frame so the eye has time to read it?

Other than that, it looks really nice. I don't think Elliquiy has any particular colour scheme officially, so the blue-on-black works. ... and it's oddly appropriate that it's reminiscent of a bruise!

I like the timing on it now. I wonder if you can make a version without the golden glow on the wording, to see how it looks? I'm not sure if it's making the words stand out more against the black, or fuzzing them. I presume that's what you were going for, since I do it in Photoshop m'self. :)

Friendly is a typo, partly because I'm dumb like that, and partly because photoshop doesn't have an auto spellcheck lol. BESM isn't a typo, though I could add BDSM i suppose. I was referring to the gaming system (also my personal favorite) Big Eye's Small Mouth. But yeah.. i'll be fixing the one typo, thanks! =^.^=
